Voice chat functionality: what is it?
The voice chat feature on ChatGPT, as the name suggests, allows users to ask questions verbally to GPT. You no longer need to type your question or project title, but simply say it like you do with Google, Alexa or Siri. The Chatbot will convert this verbal query into text and feed it into the LLM to find an answer. ChatGPT also responds to you in voice format, so you don’t need to read what’s written on the screen but just listen to it.
Once you are finished using the feature, you can click the close button to return to the home page of your ChatGPT window. These voice conversations will be available in written form on your ChatGPT chat window.
